py_ask_sdk_test

This is a framework for testing Alexa Skills developed in Python with the alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-python, which is mostly a translation of taimos' Alexa Skill Test Framework in Typescript, which itself is based on the alexa-skill-test-framework by Brian MacIntosh.

The framework uses assert to check the expected behaviour. So the best way to go is using it with pytest.

The ask-sdk version it is based on is ask-sdk-core=1.10, ask-sdk-runtime=1.10 and ask-sdk-model=1.11.

Install:

You can install the framework via pip:

pip install py_ask_sdk_test

Example:

You can see an example for using the framework in the following and in the framework's test-files:

from py_ask_sdk_test.alexa_test import AlexaTest
from py_ask_sdk_test.classes import TestItem, SkillSettings, SupportedInterfaces
from request_builders.launch_request_builder import LaunchRequestBuilder
from request_builders.intent_request_builder import IntentRequestBuilder
from pseudo_handler import handler


skill_settings = SkillSettings(app_id="<Your skill's id>",
                               user_id="<Your user id>",
                               device_id="<Your device id>",
                               locale="<The locale of your skill>",
                               interfaces=SupportedInterfaces())  # interfaces your skill supports (audio, video etc.)


def test_launch_request():
    """Tests the LaunchRequest's speech and repromt output"""
    alexa_test = AlexaTest(handler)
    alexa_test.test(
        [
            TestItem(
                LaunchRequestBuilder(skill_settings).build(),
                expected_speech="Salve, gaudeo te videre!",
                expected_repromt="Vin aliquid dicere?",
                check_question=False
            ),
            TestItem(
                IntentRequestBuilder("DeiIntent", skill_settings).build(),
                expected_speech=(r"Jupiter.+", True),
                expected_repromt="",
                check_question=False
            )
        ]
    )
